The House of Representatives Committee on Finance has commended the level of progress and achievements being made by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), promising not to withhold any support needed by the agency.

The Committee members, who were on an oversight visit, held a meeting with FIRS management at the Revenue House in Abuja, yesterday, and also toured the agency’s permanent headquarters in the Central Business District currently under construction.

A statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the FIRS Chairman, Dare Adekanmbi, said the Chairman of the Committee, James Faleke, who addressed newsmen after the tour, expressed satisfaction at the transformation in FIRS under the Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, and the increased tax revenue, pledging continued support of the Committee for the agency’s initiatives.

“For us, we can only commend the staff and management of FIRS and, of course, the contractors for a job well done. We have seen the quality work being done. They designed it very well and when we asked questions, they answered. We are satisfied.”

We say kudos to FIRS.

“We first went to the temporary building where the FIRS is using now and we met the directors and everybody. Why we have taken time to come on oversight is to allow the chairman to fully settle, and we have seen the evidence that he has fully settled.”
